RPM LWB

Post by popboy905 »

i always liked the rpm ultra mold kits, but never had or raced one. I purely thought that they just look cool. I scored a broken rpm rc10t chassis on eBay and decided to trim it done and eliminate the broken aspect of it and make a long wheel base runner. Here is what i am starting with before i clean it up and re-dye it

I re-dyed the most of the parts and laid out some of the parts to start some assembly. Hopefully i can come across rpm truck bellcrank and the upper brace. If not I'll have to figure out something for the upper brace later.

i started with some assembly on the front and rear end. I still have a long way to go but here is a little more progress. This is going to be a runner. The ultra mold always seems like it was like "hey can we make a rc10 to a pro-se" and still call it a rc10

that's why the rear shock tower looks like that. :wink:
